Hyundai Motor to suspend daily overtime from Dec
Reuters - 1 hour 54 minutes ago
SEOUL, Nov 27 - Hyundai Motor Co <005380.KS>, South Korea's top auto maker, plans to suspend daily overtime work at some domestic lines from December to cut production on weakening auto demand, company officials said on Thursday.
Hyundai, the world's No.5 auto maker along with its affiliate Kia Motors Corp <000270.KS>, has already stopped weekend overtime work at most local production lines, except a line for compact sedans such as the Elantra, company officials said.
"We decided to adjust production volume to deal with faltering demand," a Hyundai official told Reuters by telephone, asking not to be identified.
The decision came as a private industry group said it expected the country's domestic car sales next year to fall about 10 percent as a global recession hits Asia's fourth-largest economy.
The Korea Automobile Manufacturers Association , whose members include Hyundai, said that local car sales in 2009 were likely to sink to about 1.1 million vehicles, from an expected 1.2 million this year.
"The local auto industry has recently been facing a sharp slowdown in sales as the global economic downturn dampens the economy," the group said in a statement.
Domestic car sales dropped more than 30 percent in November from the previous month, it added.
South Korean auto makers sold 992,387 vehicles in the local market during the first 10 months of the year, down 0.9 percent from a year earlier, according to the KAMA.
Carmakers have taken various measures to respond to shrinking auto demand at home and abroad, including production cuts.
